It's still way too hard. The first climb in the middle of the stage is hardcore. 4k at almost 10% followed by two smaller Mur De Huy-light climbs.

No sprinter is gonna make it. GVA, Haas and Felline can make it to the finish, but that's where I draw the line.

Honestly, I think it all depends on the wind. Back in 2014 Greipel won and 82 riders were in the group. But yes, if the wind is like it often is, it will probably be to much for Coquard (at this time of the season.)
